The Lee Monument AGAIN.


The Wilmington On. c.. Star, in con-
cluding an article noticing that the
VALENTINE heroic statue of BREcKIN-
RIDGE is nearly ready for casting, says ::
"lhe Virginians bait at giving the
Lee statue to Valentine, and we cannot
understand why"
Cur Wilmington contemporary falls
into an error which, in justice to the
virginians," should be corrected. 1t
is safe to assert that were the
decision left to the people OF
Virginia, the order to execute the
LEE monument would be given TO Mr..
VALENTINE without delay. This is evil
denced by the tone OF the Virginia
press and by public sentiment as voiced
by hundreds Of persons with whom we
have conversed on the subject. Nor is
such general agreement that the Rich
anond sculptor is the only man to
do the work due to the fact
that he is virginian. tisbasedupon
mis- reputation, what he has already &C
conplished, q recognition that he
studied LEE as no other sculptor ever
did, and the opinion OF art critics as to
Mr.. VALENTINES genius We say this
without intending TO imply censure of
the monument committee. We can
appreciate the position in which they
have been placed and their sense of re-
spcnsibility. 1t was proper that they
should not act hastily. But it having
been pretty clearly demonstrated that
no foreign artist can give us LEE, and |
ihe general public, as well as those
competent TO speak on art matters, be-
ing satisfied that VALENTINE can, why
is there any further delsys Why not

JUMPED OVER A TREsrLE.

A Wheeling CIV. Va special says !:
A construction train on the Ohio River
railroad jumped over high trestle at
Willow island, scventy-one miles south

men, fatally wounding two others, and
badly wounding six or eight others.
The train was crowded with section
hands at the time, and was under con-
troll Of Conductor Toby Flincker, who
is among the badly wounded. Nothing
is known OF the cause Of the accident
beyond the fact that the train jumped
the trestle while running at high rate
of speed. The list of casualties, as far
as can be asct rtained, is asfollows
Dead-Joseph Reese. laborer, OF Cliff

Others have limbs broken, and there are
many minor injuries. The cars and en-
CINE fell in pile and lie in confused

not take FIRE, or q terrible loss OF life
would have resulted.

Right-wrong.


The West Point Star has the follow
ing paragraph:
"We think il very clear that the
Legislature acted wisely in providing
for q commission from among its own
members TO confer with the bondhold-
ers rather than from businessmen.
ANY settlement that may be agreed upon
viii be nullity unless il meet with the
sanction of the Legislature and the peo-
pie, and there can be no doubt that
members of the Legislature can best
tell what will meet the approval of the
General Assembly and of the voters Of
the Commonwealth"
Undoubtedly. And not only do they
know best what sort of measure will
meet the approval of the public, but
they are, for reasons apparent to every
one, the only persons who can in the
two houses Of the General Assembly set
forth the reasons for the controverted
features of the new settlement. They
alone have the right to appear on the
floor Of the House, and argue the i'm
portsnt questions involved.
We regret that there should be two
opinions on this subject. 1t wouid
have been good sign if all the papers
had accepted the selection of members
.of the Legislature as the best method
of insuring the proper presentation of
all the matters involved-not to the
Legislature only, but to the people at
home. The people are the final arbi-
tiers of the fate of any new settlement
that may be made. They are to be
consulted. They are to be heard.
Their weight in the community is to be
felt.
BY the way, we regard it as very bad
policy upon the part of the agents of
the bondholders to be trying to devise
new methods Of forcing coupons into
the Treasury OF the Commonwealth.
The persons engagedin this unfortunate
undertaking may rest assured that such
conduct will throw another obstacle.
and one that may prove to be not
easily overcome, in the road to
final adjustment of the State debt. We
hear Of agents being engaged in that
sort of work throughout the Common
wealth. We hear of them at Bristol, in
one end of the State, aud at Alexan-
dria, in the other end of the State
Such acts under the circumstances are
well calculated to cause the friends of q
new settlement to despair of getting
the bondholders to understand their
real circumstances and the conditions
tia, obtain in Virginia.

points Of agreement and disagreement
with the Constitution under which,
happily, we live.
The Constitution OF Switzerland
vests the supreme Legislative and ex-
ecutive authority in Parliament of
two chambers, one OF which is called
the State Council, and the other the
National Council. Like our Senate
the upper chamber contains two men,
bers from each Canton, or, rs we should
say, State, making forty-four mem
bers in all. Like our House Of Repre-
sentatives, moreover, the National
Council is elected by popular vote, on
the basis of population, one deputy
for every twenty thousand voters.
The most populous of the Cantons,
BEN. sends twenty-seyen members to
tie National Council the least popu-
lous, Uri and Tug, only one each.
There are 145 representatives in the
National Council. The suffrage in
Switzerland is exceedingly liberal and
comprehensive. Every citizen of the
republic who is twenty years old is en-
titled to vote and any voter not
clergyman may be elected deputy.
A general election of deputies takes
place every three years
The two chambers thus constituted
form the Federal Assembly, which elects
for three-years' term seven members,
in whom is vested the Federal execu-
tive authority. Any voter for the Ma
tional Council is eligible for member
ship in this executive body of seven
men, which is called the Federal
Council. The Federal Assembly
in united meeting of the State
Council end National Council
elects for the term of one year the
President and Vice-President of the
Federal Council, who are also President
and Vice-President of the Republic for
the same space of time. The incum-
bents of these offices are not eligible for |
till after the expiration of |
another year. They and their five col |
leagues constitutingthe Federal Council |
are chiefs of the seven administrative |
departments of the republic. Elected by |
and from the Federal Assembly is the |
Federal Tribunal, which consists of nine |
members. These constitute Supreme
Court for the republic, and are divided |
into a civil and criminal court. The |
Federal Constitution outlined consists
with the independence and legislative
powers Of each Canton, and the entire
fabric of government in Switzerland
rests upon the absolute sovereignty of
the people.
This brief sketch of the Constitution
and Government of Switzerlandis aptly
illustrated by an excellent likeness OF
he President for 1SS7-Numa Droz, of
Neufchatel.

TWO STRANGE CREATURES.
An Ant.Eater and q Penguin Arrive
I'm the Quaker city.

A Philadelphia special says The rare
collection of animals at the Geological
Garden was to-day enriched by two
specimens which, if they live. will en-
JOY the proud distinction of having no
oounterpsrts in this country. The first
is the black-footed penguin and the
other the tachy-glossus hystrix or ant
eating echidna. The first is genuine
bird that cannot fly, and the other q
four-iooied land animal that lays
eggs. The echidna is considered
by naturalists Que of the rarest
and most peculiar creations of the
animal kingdom. The specimen OF the
Eco, except a stuffed one at the Acade-
my of Natural Sciences, is the only one
in America, and was brought direct
from Australia, where it was captured.
1t is about the size of an ordinary por-
cupine, which it greatly resembles,
being covered with long quilts, but it
has bill.shaped nose nearly three
inches long, from which protrudes
narrow tongue six inches in length. It's
mouth is exceedingly small and it has
noteeth. Its legs are short and power
full and its feet are armed with thick
claws that can burrew so rapidly that
the animal can almost instantaneously
disappear in the earth. Unlike
other burrowing animals he burrows
with all four feet at once, and instead of
going head first, he gracefully sinks
into the earth with his spine curved and
bristling with q formidable armor of
quilts. On its right hind leg is sharp
spur, similar to fighting cocks, three
inches long. A little canal, connecting
with gland, runs through it and keeps
it supplied with a poisonous liquid,
which is said to produce instantaneous
death. The most peculiar feature of
this strange creature, however, is that
it regularly lays eggs Of q dark purple
hue. When on its native heath its diet
consists Of ants and other insects, but
yesterday it enjoyed a hearty meal OF
condensed milk and the white OF an egg.

A Philadelphia contemporary asks :
"Won't somebody whisper to the mem
bers of the House at Harrisburg that
they don't get per diem, pay now ?"
And why Such being the case, isn't
it better to keep a lot of politicians
corralled in one town than have them
running loose over the State?
